Facilities and Classrooms

The Department of Modern & Classical Languages is housed in the Martha Miller Center
for Global Communication.

Many of our language classes take place in the Martha Miller Center (MMC), and our
language houses are designed for students who’d like to be completely immersed in
French or Spanish during their free time.

Martha Miller Center

Martha Miller Center for Global Communication

The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication opened in 2005. The two-story, 49,000-square-foot
building houses the Department of Communication and the Department of Modern and Classical
Languages. It also holds the offices of international and multicultural education.

Department of Modern and Classical Languages. Find our faculty and staff on the second
floor, as well as many of your language classes.

La Maison Francaise

La Maison Francaise is our French language house on campus, housing six female students who are interested
in using French with other like-minded students. Affectionately named after Marguerite
Prins, a French professor at Hope, the students chosen to live here pledge to use
French in their daily interactions in the common areas of La Maison Francaise.

The Spanish House

The Spanish House is our Spanish language house on campus, with room for five female students interested
in practicing their language skills and learning more about the culture that our programs
offer.

The Kruizenga Art Museum and the Latino Student Organization at Hope College will host a Dia de los Muertos Community Day on Saturday, Nov. 3, at the museum. The collaborative event will feature family-friendly crafts from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., an authentic ofrenda constructed by the Latino Student Organization, and a presentation about the ofrenda given by members of the Latino Student Organization at 11:30 a.m.
